Training Materials

The Open Source Six Sigma materials are structured to teach the problem-solving methodology so trainees gain an in-depth understanding of the Lean Six Sigma process and how to apply the methodology to projects as opposed to how to just use a specific set of tools. The materials cover theory and are supplemented with step-by-step examples, using Minitab or SigmaXL, depending on the version, when applicable. Trainees build a thorough understanding of when and why they should perform an action (2 sample t-test for example) how to perform that action and how to properly interpret the result of the output in both a "statistical" and "practical" sense. This process creates standardized learning for all trainees along with enough degrees of freedom to integrate company specific examples and supporting content as deemed appropriate by the client. All of our training materials are supplemented with in-depth instructor notes and slide explanations.

Course Manuals

The Open Source Six Sigma Course Manuals provide a professionally formatted version of the Training Materials. The Course Manuals provide trainees and instructors with a comprehensive well organized book containing the actual training content as well as in-depth instructor notes and topic explanations. Trainees utilize the manuals to take notes during course instruction and as a study and reference text on an ongoing basis.

Assessments

The Open Source Six Sigma Assessments for Black Belt, Green Belt and Yellow Belt provide a comprehensive examination of the content within the courses. These assessments are derived directly from the content within the training materials and are utilized at the instructor’s discretion to test trainee comprehension, retention and knowledge level.
